This was my first time making this and I was pleasantly suprised. I subsituted Splenda for the sugar and I used a mixture of Splenda, cinnamon and ground walnuts for the filling. My stepkids and husband loved them!

This recipe was great! Most recipes don't use the sour cream, but it really does add a new depth of flavor to the dough. One of my favorite variatins is coconut. Try it with chocolate chips or macadamia nuts. DEEElicious!!

I have never had Rugelach before...actually I don't even know how to pronounce it but it's fantastic. I did change the recipe a little. I don't have a food processor so I used my kitchenaid mixer and a pastry cutter to make the dough. It took a little while but it worked. One thing I learned is that you really have to flour your surface and the rolling pin before you try to roll out the dough. It was hard for me to roll mine because the wedges stuck to the wax paper. I still have 3 more disks to roll out so I will know how to do it tonight. For my filling I used sugar-free apricot preservatives, sprinkled it with some brown sugar, then put about 1/4 of a cup of white sugar and 1/2 a tbsp of cinnamon. I added raisins to top it off. Baking them for 22 minutes was perfect. When I make the rest of mine tonight I think I will chop up the raisins so they fit better. Besides that I don't think I am going to change a thing. I wasn't sure how the dough would come out...it was light and flaky. My brother-in-law thought it was a french recipe because it was similar to a croissant. He was surprised I had made it from scratch. This recipe is awesome. It's a little time consuming but totally worth it in the end. Thanks for the recipe.
**I brought these for dessert at Christmas dinner and my father couldn't believe I had made these, he was really shocked. He loved them. **

I used this recipe to make rugelach for the first time. It was time consuming -- but not difficult. I got great results and everyone raved about how good these were. I filled some with Nutella and others with raspberry preserves, but everyone's favorite by far were the ones with this recipe's filling (substituting mini chocolate chips for the raisins). Outstanding.

I am totally bummed about this recipe because I had sooo many problems with it. First of all it says to mix the ingredients with a food processor which I assumed that a blender would work, it absolutely will not! It only mixed the bottom half which became very sticky and thick while the top half was still powdery. After mixing it by hand I formed my disks then chilled them overnight. When I tryed to roll them they just cracked leaving gaps all over the place and the more I rolled to try to smooth out the gaps, the less manageable the dough became. I ended up with less than 10 cookie from 2 disks and threw the other two away. Maybe I am just a really inexperienced baker but this recipe was vey difficult for me.

I made this recipe yesterday for a cookie swap and it was a hit. I used seedless raspberry jam in half and semi sweet chocolate chips in the other batch. Also, I had to bake mine for 30 minutes and they came out flaky and crispy. Excellent recipe.

My husband gave this recipe a 10-star rating. These were very much fun to make, een if a bit time-consuming with having to chill the dough twice. They came out perfectly with a very flakey consistency.
